Now reissued with a stunning new jacket look, Restoration is the bestselling classic which introduced us to the young Robert Merivel and his rise and fall through glittering seventeenth-century society

The bestselling classic from a 'magnificent story-teller' (Independent on Sunday). Journey to the glittering seventeenth-century court, and witness the rise and fall of young, charming Robert Merivel...

When a twist of fate delivers an ambitious young medical student to the court of King Charles II, he is suddenly thrust into a vibrant world of luxury and opulence. Blessed with a quick wit and sparkling charm, Robert Merivel rises quickly, soon finding favour with the King, and privileged with a position as 'paper groom' to the youngest of the King's mistresses. But by falling in love with her, Merivel transgresses the one rule that will cast him out from his new-found paradise...

'For a vivid - and funny - fictional re-creation of the era, Tremain's Restoration is hard to beat.' The Times
